JAXON EVANS

Jaxon Evans shone in his cameos as a co-driver in the SCT Logistics Supercar in 2022 and 2023, before making the step up to compete full-time in the category.

The renowned driver’s career so far is highlighted by both Australian and international achievements and championships.

In 2018 the 27-year-old claimed his first Championship in Porsche Carrera Cup Australia with six victories to his name over the year.

The result gave the youngster a chance to attend the Porsche Junior Programme Shootout, where he was selected over 11 other drivers from around the world to be promoted to the ‘Porsche Junior’ for the 2019 season.

From there Evans moved to Europe, racing with Porsche across multiple series including the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, where he found himself on pole and the podium twice in his rookie year.

Parallel to his Supercup commitments, Evans secured the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland rookie Championship.

Evans claimed his first European championship and his second Porsche Carrera Cup title when he won Porsche Carrera Cup France in 2020.

In the same year, the young-gun also claimed his first World Endurance Championship (WEC) podium with the Dempsey-Proton Racing team in Bahrain on debut.

2020 also saw Evans reach the podium at the Bathurst 12 Hour for the first time, finishing second in Pro-AM.

His first race win in Porsche Supercup also came amid a hectic 2020, stealing victory at the Red Bull Ring.

The Austrian track proved a happy hunting ground, winning there again in Porsche Supercup in 2021 on his way to second in the championship.

Evans’ campaign in the 2021 WEC GTE AM class, secured him third in the year’s standings and a top-five finish in class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

In 2022 Evans won the inaugural Nürburgring 12 hour race in the SP9 (GT3 / outright) class.

Evans has already impressed in a Supercar, his opening stint in the 2023 Sandown 500 saw him steer the SCT Logistics Camaro from 22nd to 14th.

He was also at the reins for the start of the Bathurst 1000, and just as spectacularly made up over 10 positions in the first stint.

His rookie year in the category is hotly anticipated and the Kiwi has been earmarked as one to watch.
